Ingredients
- 5 lices thick cut bacon or pancetta , diced
- 1/2 pound Smoked Kielbasa Sausage , sliced into rounds
- 1 large yellow onion , chopped
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 2 carrots , peeled and sliced into rounds
- 3 medium waxy yellow potatoes (e.g. Yukon gold) , cubed
- 8 cups quality chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups dried yellow split peas or dried yellow whole peas , rinsed and drained (if using whole peas soak them overnight; split peas do not have to be soaked); can substitute green split peas but I prefer the aesthetics of the yellow in this soup
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram (different flavor profile but can substitute oregano)
Instructions
- Cook the bacon. Add the sausage and fry until starting to brown at the edges. Reserve a few of the sausage slices until it's time to serve.Add the onions and cook until soft and beginning to caramelize, 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic, carrots, and potatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer covered for 25-60 minutes depending on the desired texture of the peas (cook them just until softened if you want the peas to maintain their shape and for a brothy soup; cook them longer if you prefer them broken down for a thicker, creamier consistency). Discard the bay leaves.Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a few of the reserved sausage slices.
